## What it is
Php Inspections (EA Extended) is an open-source static code analysis tool distributed as a PhpStorm/IntelliJ IDEA plugin. It detects architecture issues, weak typing, performance problems, suspicious conditions, exception handling flaws, compatibility issues, PHPUnit API misuse, and security vulnerabilities in PHP code.

## Use cases
- find security vulnerabilities in PHP code
- static analysis for PhpStorm
- detect performance issues in PHP
- check PHP code for weak typing and simplifications
- validate PHPUnit API usage
- find PHP 7/8 compatibility issues
- catch time-consuming bugs in PHP codebase

## When to choose
- you develop PHP in PhpStorm or IntelliJ IDEA Ultimate and want deep on-the-fly inspections
- you want security, performance, and architecture checks integrated into your IDE
- you want a free, actively maintained static analyzer for PHP

## When to avoid
- you need CLI/CI-based analysis outside JetBrains IDEs
- you use another IDE like VS Code
- your project cannot tolerate the plugin's CPU usage on large codebases

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: active
- function: linter, security, code-review, developer-tools
- domain: developer-tools, testing, security, web-development
- platform: editor-plugin, jvm, cross-platform
